Scientific breakthroughs enable dental practitioners to treat and cure diseases more effectively than ever. Better understanding of pathogenic and risk factors for dental caries have produced highly effective evidence-based protocols for risk assessment and management (including many non-invasive measures) of this infectious disease. As a result, the paradigm of caries management has shifted away from a reparative model to one focused on detection, risk assessment and healing of early lesions. This course will provide dentists and hygienists with information and procedures for incorporating this important treatment concept into everyday practice.
